I told you I reeeaally like bananas:) I have often made stuffed french toast similar to this one, but just alter the fruit filling each time. For this recipe I wanted to make the Nutmeg sauce that I remembered learning how to make in High school home ec class..so I came up with this similar sauce from scanning different recipes on the internet.
When I made the stuffed french toast this time, I think there was too much cream cheese filling, so for the recipe I will halve the amt used.
